Totest Aleng: Indigenous Learning House
Dedicated to Indigenous cultural practices, Totest Aleng is a studio where artists in residence work and host public programs.
The open-air pavilion is where Indigenous-led workshops, events and school programs take place.
Fulfill your cultural practices
When using the Learning House, Indigenous practitioners have access to our resources. We welcome all proposed Indigenous uses of the space. Run a workshop, share your knowledge or anything else that supports your cultural practice. Artists in residence also have access to the studio and the pavilion for community engagement.
Visit & learn
As an active Indigenous art studio, the space is only open to the general public on select dates. When it is, it is a place for cultural exchange and connection to the land. Check our events page for upcoming open houses, markets, workshops and school programs.
Current artist in residence
We are honoured to host Kwantlen First Nation artist Brandon Gabriel Kwelexwelsten who will be working in the studio February through May. His residency will focus on developing and experimenting with visual art stories using contemporary materials, as well as connecting with local Indigenous artists and learners.
